Take A Bow (Now It's All Over)

by Jenni Marie   Feb 25, 2008


Look at that honey, once more you're performing for the crowd
Should get a standing ovation for that splendid performance
Isn't it such a shame that you've yet to realize I've clicked on
Able to see past your glittering makeup and pretty stage outfits

And yet you still have everyone else so pleasantly fooled
Darling we both know the true colors behind your mask
No point hiding your mendacious heart behind that pretty picture
Didn't you realize you have picked the wrong person to fool?

And as I see you staring my way, the switch finally clicks
Know that you know I'm able to see past your falsified beauty
Just for a second see a flicker of fear flash in your baby blues
As you become aware not everyone will be deceived by your charm

As a small smirk begins to graze my disgruntled expression
See you become aware you just may have finally met your match
It's going to be fun to knock you a few pegs of your pedestal
Tell me though, are you even going to make this a challenge?

No point in pretending to be little miss sunshine any longer
Honey I already know the truth about your ugly colors inside
So come on sweetheart, let's not waste time pretending any more
It's time for you to take your dazzling bow (now this act is over)

**For A Contest**

    A very beautifuly wirtten poem. Insulting and insightful at the same time.
    Its seems like you were directing the poem at someone you know. You know how they act, and you thinks its pathetic.
    I loved it.
    Very strongly written.

    It's a good tale. I see no poetry.
    It's lovely and all, but I saw no rhyme.

    In the end, it may be best if you look over it and see if you can't alter it to see if there is some way to make it a poem.

    With the flow of a poem, it would've been far better.

    Wow...
    I can deeply relate to this write and that made the whole poem so powerful for me. This is certainly greatly written, definitely one of my favorites from you. Every word seem perfectly picked, and the imagery in each stanza is remarkable. You are always able to create flawless flow even in non-rhyming poems and this piece is not an exception. I truly can't find anything to critique here, the atmosphere, choice of words and rhythm seem superb in every way.
    I can't chose my favorite stanza, there are too many profound and effective lines through this piece. The ending is great, it rounds up the whole poem excellently.
    Greatly done,
    5/5 from me
